Imagine you had a team of 10 average (not bad, but also not great) software engineers for a year. Choose between:

* Get them to implement the kubernetes ssd/disk attachment plugin for the Adobe cloud offering.

* Get them to implement the remote access, scheduling and status control of a biochemistry centrifugue.

Both missions are boring, and neither will change much how whe world runs.

Well, I lied. Because of incentives, it is actually choosing between 15 decent engineers for the Adobe cloud or 1-2 cheap & bad engineers for the centrifugue (I have worked in embedded, I know software is an afterthought in that industry).

And now let's make it more personal: would you rather work for Adobe cloud for 135k per year, or for Centrifugues R Us for 85k per year? Would your spouse agree with your decision, especially after your 3 year old decided to grab and throw the TV to the floor?
